Kaufman Team Hold’s 8th Annual July Fourth Party

When Marcia Kaufman of Star Real Estate thinks back to her childhood Fourth of July holidays, she thinks of block parties, potlucks and children staying up for hours thriving in the festive fun.

To bring back that “small town feel,” Kaufman is giving back to the community by holding her 8th annual free Fourth of July Party.

“I grew up in an era where you knew all your neighbors and it was a safer time. I wanted to bring that back and offer something for people of all ages that is fun, safe and where you can sit back and relax,” Kaufman said.

The party will include a BBQ, face painting, crafts, bounce houses, sack races and games such as Angry Birds. Children can also participate in a parade, led by Cub Scout pack 1450, where they can don Fourth of July colors and decorate their bikes and scooters. It’s a far cry from the first year when the party included only face painting and a snow cone machine.

Although Kaufman hosts and pays for the party, she said neighbors donate their time and help staff the different events.

“People are really appreciative. It’s great when parents come up to me during the year and say, ‘my kids look forward to your party every year. It’s our 4th of July tradition’” Kaufman said.

Kaufman started her Real Estate career 37 years ago and has been with Star Real Estate for the last 19 years. She specializes in marketing homes in Huntington Beach and the surrounding areas.

“Real Estate is more than just the transaction. It’s about the relationships,” Kaufman said. “What drives me is talking to people and maintaining these relationships. That’s why this event is so great because you see the same people year after year.”
